18 months ago I bought my first HTC Desire, the original one – also known as Bravo. Since then, HTC expanded Desire family with three more models: Desire HD (Ace), Desire S (Saga) and Desire Z (Vision). I’ve decided to compare them all. So, if you are (still) looking to buy HTC Desire but you are not sure which one – this post is for you. Maybe you own Desire HD and you want to compare it with Desire Z? Let’s see.
Below you will find a table with full specs of each Desire model! It all started from Desire …

If I am to buy one of these phones today my first choice would be Desire HD, for its fantastic multimedia specifications. Next one on the list is Desire S, the real successor of the original Desire.
